Apologies

To everyone who has noticed I've deleted a post. I've just realised there was a spam comment on there I really wasn't happy with it and I couldn't work out how to delete said comment. Sad to say that to leave comments now you'll have to do the word verification nonsense. Hope that won't stop any of you lovely people commenting!

Testing, Testing

This is sort of an experimental post to see if I can post here from my phone. The answer seems to be yes, although I type so slowly it would probably take an age to make a decent post! But, the option is here, should I wish to use it.

And yes, I may be putting off having to get ready for work by playing around here!

New Look

Start as you mean to go on and all that...with my post about posting, I'm now making another post, about the new layout I've uploaded here. Sadly I can't lay claim to having created it (my coding skills extend to very basic HTML!) but I think it looks pretty cool, and it's very me.

I've also put links to my Etsy shop, and to my craft blog in the sidebar - expect more links to follow when I can think of things to put there! Possibly I'll end up with links to other blogs I read...I haven't really decided yet.

I want to post a bit about what's going on in my (fairly dull) life, but I think it would mostly be very dull. The short version is: Christmas was good, and mostly out of the way (still have presents to give to people, tomorrow and then on New Years Eve), I've accepted a permanent role from my temp job (pensions call centre...not amazing, but it's a job and I'm actually pretty good at it), and I'm still living here with P. Oh, and we've got tickets to see Avatar in 3D tomorrow, which is likely to be pretty cool.

Um...that's about all I can think of to say right now. Although I forgot how easy blogging can be. I always say this though, and then stop. Mostly when I get writers block. Hmmm...maybe I need some topic starters for when I don't have anything else to write about. Ideas in the comments please!!

New Year's Resolutions

My attempts at blogging here this year have been woefully poor. I may have made this same resolution regarding my Other Blog (where I talk about real world, rather than crafty me, and generally rant, moan and discuss what happens in my head!) but one of my New Year's resolutions is to blog here, and there, at least once a week.

I'm hoping that this will inspire me to a) craft more, b) actually write about things without bottling them up more, and c) entertain / annoy / amuse / insert word here people who bother to read these things!

So, keep watching, and poke me (metaphorically preferably) when I don't make posts.

ETA: I've added a new layout. Isn't it pretty?!

New Year's Resolutions

So, it's been nearly a year since I posted here. And that's bad. And I may have made this resolution last year too (and if I did I failed miserably!) but I am resolving now that as of January 1st 2010, I am going to make a post both here and at my Craft Blog at least once a week. And hopefully more, but at least once a week to start with.

I'm hoping that this will inspire me to a) craft more, b) actually write about things without bottling them up more, and c) entertain / annoy / amuse / insert word here people who bother to read these things!

So, keep watching, and poke me (metaphorically preferably) when I don't make posts.
